Thank you for posting your question here, JDS1299. Since you’ve outsourced your payroll, you can absolutely turn off the payroll feature in QuickBooks Enterprise if you no longer need to use it. This will streamline your setup by removing the payroll module, allowing you to better focus on other areas like sales and expenses.
Rest assured, turning off payroll won’t affect any of your existing records. All your historical data will remain intact. Here's how do it:
- Open your QuickBooks Desktop company file and sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
- Select Edit, and then choose Preferences.
- Go to Payroll & Employees.
- Click the Company Preferences tab.
- Make sure QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Features is set to No Payroll.
- Hit Save to confirm the changes.
If you ever need to re-enable payroll in the future, it’s simple to reverse the process. You can follow the same steps to turn it back on whenever needed.
If you ever need to re-enable payroll in the future, you can follow the same process and choose Full Payroll.
